Surviving Mars 535% HARDEST DIFFICULTY – Part 13 – I Guess I Deserved That? – Gameplay
Surviving Mars HARDEST DIFFICULTY 535% – Part 13: This is the hardest difficulty bonus possible in Surviving Mars! This is a series recorded live on Twitch.. It’s upload here in edited segments. ๐ SEE MORE BELOW ๐ PLEASE NOTE: I will be showing FAILURES in this series as well… we can learn from our mistakes […]
and god said on the 130th day… LET THERE BE METEORS!
Jeeze it's like the game decided to give you a great start and lull you into a false sense of security than launched a full scale meteor invasion on your ass lol

You don't seem to get that when you scale the heater it scales power. It makes sense if you keep it small.
Some time this Spring there will be personnel tunnels added to the game that allow the people work in one dome but live in another.
My set up for the seniors dome is i put youths in there. Teenagers with no specialisation could work the grocers and diners. When they grow up, they leave to bigger domes. Only Youth and Seniors are allowed in the retirement dome.
I'd say the game well and truly trolled you on this attempt. It lulled you into a false sense of security with some really nice Breakthrough techs, then waited patiently, then WHAM!! Gotcha.
The idea of needing a heater for anything as a kind of separate unit that you have to go out of your way to build is a funny one. Water tanks (and pipes) would already have to be insulated and have heating elements in them to keep water from freezing at normal Martian temperatures. Also, nuclear reactors kick out a lot of waste heat, and the obvious thing to do with it is use it to keep stuff like living spaces, other temperature sensitive infrastructure and water warm rather than just chucking it into the Martian atmosphere. Utilizing waste heat that way turns it into a resource and it also means the electricity the reactors generate can be used for things electricity is better suited for than being used for heating via an inefficient heat-to-power-to-heat conversion process.
17:33 It is odd that people can't "commute" to work in a dome they don't live in when they can work in factories located outside the dome. It's also kind of funny that the domes can't be interconnected via enclosed walkways. That would be more efficient than having to build a large number of semi-self-sufficient domes that wind up replicating each other's capacity (like having to build two grocers, one per dome, when in principle one would be enough for the colony).
29:06 Are those meteors or guided missiles?
